If they ever do Studio Series Gamer Edition WFC Shockwave, I don't mind a Brimstone Repaint

(If Takara Hasbro can't make a New Cybertron Brimstone Toy anyway)

Re: this

Netflix WFC Shockwave wasn't a mnemosurgeon, but didn't he at least allegedly do the second one to himself?

Iicr, I don't remember the netflix trilogy well but iicr, you're right

Imagine the consequences that had that we Didn't see

Anyway.

Fall of Cybertron and Destiny being the two first "real" games that I properly played (instead of getting stuck on a random level and never finishing)

combined with me being really into the TF07 DS game where you play as a custom "Create-A-Bot" character (via watching my friend play it when I went to his house. and also youtube videos) and my discovery of Armored Core some time between 2012-2016 when I saw the opening cinematic for 4A on youtube

has resulted in me really wanting (to play/make/both) a customisation-heavy transformers game where you play as an MTO

Unfortunately, my skillset amounts to being okay at drawing and painting, technically being able to kind of 3D model, making very rudimentary character rigs (and rigging two-stage universal joint mounted hydraulic pistons), and maybe being sort of okay at writing. so making it myself is out of the question.

(also even if I had all the necessary skills the amount of crap I'd need to make would be infeasible anyway so)

And hasbro seems content to let the TF game license rot in the mobile market (and possibly development hell/live service hell depending on how Reactivate goes), and I don't think they'd be that into the idea of making a tf game where you don't get to play as and/or which doesn't entirely focus on the big name characters, so I don't think we're getting anything like this anytime soon. or ever.

So I guess I'm just going to be waiting for a game that probably no one wants and will almost certainly never be made for however many years I have before I die.

.

Might start posting my dumb ideas for this hypothetical game under its own tag or something. Then again I might not because I mean.

Transformers Generations WFC: Siege IDW Impactor, Shockwave Netflix Deep Cover (G2 Deep Cover)

[cosmics-beings]

So i LOVE wfc megatron but if i had one complaint about him, it's just how easily he allows shockwave to walk over him. he is too passive for my liking. it's like this is shockwave's movement now , not megatrons. if he put shockwave in his place, at the very beginning and didn't let shockwave speak over him or manipulate him, then things would've been much easier. there was jetfire who was at least, some moral compass but even he just kinda sat on his hands while they tortured the shit out of his boyfriend, i mean magnus. Megatron gets mad at starscream every so often for just, existing and honestly chilling and yeah he talks a lot, but megatron's anger needs to be directed toward shockwave. and soundwave is also kinda chilling letting shockwave do shit.

like it's just so surprising that the ONLY reason megatron truly lost his way, the cause and became a bad leader in the wfc is because he couldn't stand up to, or put shockwave in his place. while i love this megatron, especially his voice, it seems like he just doesn't know how to stand his ground and is easily swayed and that was seen early on. and that is just so annoying to me because he has a clear vision of his movement/cause and shockwave can come along and just say some dumb shit repackaged as smart shit and megatron listens.

Thinking about the combaticons and how fucked up they are

Like after the 4-5 million year wars worth of imprisonment in the detention center with their sparks in a glorified filing cabinet, even ignoring the psychological impacts that would have, then being rebuilt by starscream of all bots and the episode may say he made them into a gestalt but that Doesn’t Make Sense. Gestalts are born able to combine due to sharing spark bonds right off the bat. They’re basically siblings, have shared spark material. How would someone artificially create that and do it in the woods with minimal supplies aside from scavenged frames to rebuild with? The WFC storyline of shockwave doing that part as an experiment makes much more sense and is what I go with bUT LIKE? THATS WORSE?? That’s Worse. Shockwave literally had his ability to give a shit surgically removed he did Not do any of that ethically, ignoring that the procedure in and of itself is unethical I’m not even sure they all got properly knocked out for it. I am sure they all at least kinda knew eachother before this, were probably a group, but methinks having a spark bond forcibly made connecting your Soul to bots you Kinda Know kinda nullifies the importance of how long they’ve know each other because however long it definitely wasn’t enough. Like that’s an instant breach of so much privacy good god. And they’re given no recovery time from this, just sent back into the decepticon army or some astroid as time-out or a revenge plot against megatron or whatever

The whole thing absolutely left remaining side effects bc I refuse to believe an experimental procedure of That degree was executed perfectly

Ya wanna know what was a real missed opportunity from Netflix’s WFC Trilogy?

Elita-1 and Shockwave not fighting onboard hovercrafts/hoverboards

They both got figures that give them hovercrafts/hoverboards, and it would have been COOL if this was included in the show!

Both of them zipping over the place like the Green Goblin, each trying to shoot and knock off the other whilst outmaneuvering shots and holding onto their own!

I admit that I didn’t watch the WFC Trilogy; I only know of details from the show because of others talking about it, but I can bet that if they included a hovercraft fight scene between these two, people would have talked!

[eldritchships]

okay since you reblogged that voice post I'm curious, do you have any thoughts on G1 Shockwave's voice? 👀

I am a fan of G1 Shockwave's voice! It's hard to go wrong with the classic voices, especially since such a great job was done of it.

G1 Shockwave I think has the most expressive voice. There's a lot more of the changes in inflection that I enjoy picking up on in other Shockwaves, and it sounds like it has more noticeable emotion behind it while keeping the intelligent and cunning aspect. I personally find it charming and weirdly comforting. I've put G1 Shockwave clips on in the background when I've needed to relax.

I'm a huge fan of the fact that TFA brought the same voice actor back to voice Shockwave again. The TFA version feels distilled, in some way. It emphasised the main elements of the original Gen 1 voice. That of course could be due to either different audio equipment or different voice direction (or a mix of both). It fittingly has a more manipulative undertone to it, suiting Shockwave's role as a double-agent in the show.

TFA also has the bonus aspect of the voice he puts on as Longarm Prime. It feels a little goofier just because it lacks the accent Shockwave has, but I like that. It's inviting and friendly (which is probably intentional).

I honestly hope that at some point we get to see the G1 voice with a Shockwave that's more physically built (e.g. like the TFP version is). As far as I'm aware the physically-strongest Shockwaves have had deeper monotone voices, which fit and I enjoy, but it'd be interesting to see G1/TFA's smoother voice coming out of a body like that.

ok i just thought of something and for that i need to explain a bit

ok wfc earth rise, thanks to shockwave. a set of bombs go off and Elita one (plus some others) die in a fiery explosion.

in wfc Kingdom, Elita one comes back as like a force ghost and then moves on but keep the word "Force ghost" in your mind for later.(not my art below)

now to the Second Tf1 Trailer, thanks to some scrolling on Tumblr to see someone else figured it out.

we can see The Force Ghost of the previous primes. Now picture this, Megatron has revealed his new Decepticon plan of "Burn it all down" and Orion and friends go to confront and stop him about it. They all fight, and the end result is:

Megatron betrays Orion and he lost his brother ( not that surprising but hear me out)

Bumblebee loses his voice box (being the cause of megs optional) but is rescued by other autobots

Orion pax is left for dead and is thrown down the core where he hears the primes and they gift him worthy of being a prime, rebuilding him. (shown below)

the most important part, Elita one dies by Megatron hands, leaving Orion devastated.

Imagine the ANGST POTENTIAL, Orion just nearly died and became a prime, 1 friend lost his voice and the other died by the one who he called a brother, who is now a warlord causing Mayhem.

Now that i put that revelation in your minds,

YALL GET TO SUFFER WITH ME!!! IF I HAVE TO SUFFER, SO DO YOU!!!!! FEEL MY PAIN!!! MWEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!

[transingthoseformers]

I have this crossover idea that i call Alterity (Alternity was taken by a Transformers toyline, but Alterity propably also works).

All canonical Shockwaves (and maybe a few closely related people/creatures like Driller and Cyberverse's spider drones) scientifically end up in one place where there isn't anybody else around and they can't leave. Conflict ensues because many of them are not in fact compatible.

I'm not extremely familiar with many of them, and a few of them (ex. Cloud) i haven't read/watched/played at all or are outright inaccessible to me, or the character only appears very briefly or barely exists, so i'm not sure about the differences between them and the other Shockwaves. Because figuring out how they all are different from each other is the key here, obviously.

Also they know need nicknames to call each other, because it'd get extremely confusing otherwise. Shockblast would call everybody something insulting, but i can't think of anything for their "official" nicknames. Ideas?

The Cast

Funpub SG Shockwave — The one who looks exactly like Shockblast. Accompanied by his assistant Fistfight? Not a actually a scientist, because G1 Shockwave wasn't.

SG Animated Shockwave — He appeared in SD SG. Idk if TFA Shockwave is an actual scientist.

SG IDW Shockwave — From the IDW'S 2021-2022 Shattered Glass comic. I don't think it was a good decision,

IDW Comics Shockwave — As pre-Dark Cybertron or post-Unicron? Or immediately after Dark Cybertron? Or as the slightly dodgy senator?

Sunbow G1 Shockwave — That incompetent Megatron simp. Not actually a scientist?

Marvel G1 Shockwave — The competent backstabber who kept trying to overthrow Megatron. As pre- or post-Regeneration One (where the epilogue gave him, Starscream, and Ravage some kind of offscreen redemption arcs)? If it was post-Regeneration One, Starscream and Ravage could end up there too or are there too many people who aren't Shockwave in this? Not actually a scientist.

TFA Shockwave — Another Megatron simp, but also a shapeshifter. Did he really have a personality in the show or is most of it the fandom filling in? Is he actually a scientist?

Cyberverse Shockwave — I like to think he's actually a beastformer with an alien bug altmode. Accompanied by the spider tank drones?

IDW2 Shockwave — I haven't read, but apparently he's weirdly chaotic and fought in a Cybertron vs eldritch abomination war on the eldritch abomination's side?

Bee Movie Shockwave — Tfwiki says it's the same continuity family as Bayverse but it's obviously not.

Bayverse Shockwave — Accompanied by Driller?

Dreamwave Shockwave — Also haven't read. I think this was the first continuity where he was a scientist.

Netflix Trilogy Shockwave — The powered-up cannibal mode whose eye spontaneously changed color?

Transtech Shockwave — Don't know the guy at all.

Cybertron Shockwave — The one whose name is actually Shockblast and who doesn't act like Shockwave at all, but was only called Shockblast because of copyright issues. Could have Sixshot with him?

Cloud Shockwave — Also don't know the guy at all.

Earthspark Shockwave — They did my boy dirty and the series is still ongoing, but every Shockwave is every Shockwave.

TFP Shockwave — Post-Predacons Rising, accompanied by Ripclaw who was the clone in the tube? I'm thinking about Emperor Kumqyat's analysis video...

I know they canonically are the same, but should i treat TFP as a separate continuity from the WFC games and the other Aligned material because of the characterizational differences TFP had from the games and the Covenant of Primus in regard to Shockwave?

Honestly i think how the tfwiki calls it the aligned continuity family tells us so muchhh

Tfa Shockwave was actually a science! He was working on the Omega Supreme clones that ended up taking after Lugnut! He just was also a spy. I think.

I think? They're calling it Knightverse now? I call it beeverse but that's probably not gonna catch on

An update on the Transformers CyberWorld situation.

Without a shadow of a doubt, it’s the next cartoon as a new copyright notice on Hasbro’s part includes animated series.

So we’re moving on from EarthSpark. A well intentioned successor to Rescue Bots aimed older that … just didn’t stick the landing for many reasons (no Nightshade being Enby isn’t one of them, but among certain groups it didn’t exactly help either…).

So what can we expect going forward.

Honestly I think we’re in the middle of a shift, creatively.

Cyberverse & EarthSpark clung to a lot of IDW centric ideas about how the Autobots are shady & the Decepticons are the actual heroes.

Skybound and TFONE are to be returning to traditional Heroic Autobots and Evil Decepticons. Starscream & Shockwave are absolutely psychotic, Soundwave is more professional in an ends justify the means capacity, and Skybound Optimus being praised for a much needed return to the strong enough to be gentle vs the introverted millenial/Gen Z kid most stuff lately has cast him in. And just by official trailers and snippets alone, ONE’s fixed a huge problem with the cast system thing started by Aligned, by making future Autobots into the oppressed miners and from what we can tell, the future Decepticons being among those who either benefited from the system or joined Starscream’s splinter faction, a faction that likely has no benefits to Cybertron as a whole.

It does feel like there’s a bit of course correcting to go with a more traditional route most casuals expect. Even a recent toyetic promo for ONE where the actors play with the toys with some football players, among them is the one who calls himself Megatron, & the players express mild skepticism on an origin story, when they all know Optimus & Megatron are mortal enemies so why bother having them be friends previously or some such. I can always appreciate when a studio expresses self awareness and happily pokes fun at itself.

It also feels like they’ve realized they’ve both overexposed certain characters and also realized certain characters don’t work.

I think RotB and Skybound’s willingness to kill off Bumblebee shows even Hasbro might be sick of him now. His absence so far in early CyberWorld leaks seem to point in this direction too. A recent promotion and opening animation with Squad Busters doesn’t have Bee, but instead uses Elita. It also keeps Megatron and the Decepticons as the villains.

I don’t think Bee is going away, since he’s a major component of TFONE, Reactivate (whenever that sucker comes out), and that separate racing (?) game thing, but outside of EarthSpark, it does feels like they’re trying to move away from him a little. Cyberverse also sticks out as it’s pretty clear the writers wanted nothing to do with Bee after S1, but Hasbro marketing and rebranding made Bumblebee a huge focus, confusing matters, as despite the rebranding, Bee’s role had greatly diminished. (Like realistically, it should’ve been Bumblebee leading the Autobots during the Quint occupation, not Hot Rod if Hasbro was that insistent about it.)

Elita is also an interesting change. For years, Hasbro seemed content to ignore her (and her squad) in favor of Arcee, with Hasbro & IDW trying to beef up female presence with “OCs” Windblade & Pyra Magna among others to little fanfare. Indeed, Windy appears to be benched in favor of Elita-One who has gotten more attention post Netflix WFC (that god awful show did one thing right and it was bring back a Female Autobot people actually like to complement Arcee).

I stand by the series still has a villain problem, and EarthSpark didn’t help by trying to make the Decepticons sympathetic moody Autobots, but also not properly taking advantage of Mandroid, Croft and (so far) the Quintessons. This has been an issue for the bulk of IDW, Cyberverse, & RotB as well, by either omitting Megatron, trying to redeem Megatron into a good guy and/or his replacements not being up to snuff/killed off too quickly. Scourge & Mandroid were steps in the right direction but alas. The Quintessons are also a step in the right direction but Hasbro seems semi hesitant to do much with them, despite their increased presence. (I’m leaning towards it being most toys related to them don’t sell, which is what will make a future Void Rivals toy line interesting…)

So now we’re at CyberWorld.

The lack of Bee in favor of Mirage due to his popularity from RotB seems telling among the Autobots, though we don’t have Elita so far in this series curiously.

All we have to go on Decepticon wise is Galvatron, Scorponok, and Sky-Byte, but that’s still a pretty big change up.

While they still have relevance in TFONE, Screamer & The Waves’ roles in EarthSpark are mostly minor, with Starscream as the standout (in a bad fan fic kind of way). Skybound mostly has ignored Megatron, slowly building up to him in stuff like Cobra Commander, with Starscream getting the crap beaten out of him, and as of the recent issue, Shockwave’s fate isn’t looking too good, leaving Soundwave. It does feel like Hasbro is willing to experiment more outside of Screamer & The Waves, given their absence this far in CyberWorld. Galvatron is also a surprise, given the “Let’s make Megatron an Antihero!” phase started in IDW, that carried over to stuff like Prime Wars, WFC, CV & ES.

I feel like using Galvatron is an attempt to both move away from Megatron for a bit, but to also still technically use him (as a villain) as usually Galvatron IS Megatron. Scorponok, at least in comics and the Headmasters anime, is typically a main villain, but how that works here we don’t know yet. He’s either G1 Marvel Scorponok or BW Scorponok, there’s very little inbetween.

So I think what we have is a big change that is going back to basics like Skybound did, but is willing to still experiment with other characters to add variety. Plus let’s be honest, having multiple Megatron toys from three different things with little visual difference is a sign of stagnation. Shaking it up with Galvatron is an improvement post TFONE.
